If you want to piss someone off who is hyper anti-vaxx, anti-tax, etc. just encourage them to go form their own separate society with people who agree with them.
A big unstated assumption for a lot of selfish people is that they want the benefits of living in a society with none of the obligations.

The U.S. is having the worst measles outbreak in 30 years.
Mass stupidity, unbridled ignorance, and RFK Jr.— an anti-vaxx caveman— have left us with a nation eager to infect its kids with medieval diseases.
One more reason to vote straight blue in November.

Early, non-mRNA Covid vaccines from AstraZeneca and J&J had rare side effects--deadly blood clots and bleeding--that led to their discontinuance and fed anti-vaxx beliefs. Now researchers have ID'd the cause, which may make safer future vaxxes of this type, esp. a new Ebola vaccine.

It's a textbook one. I'd argue that the reason we see its success is that it's built an entire infrastructure and norm-structure to ensure its replication and promotion. It's the model that further propaganda pushes (anti-feminism, anti-ADHD meds, anti-vaxx) are now adopting en masse (as it works)

This is the world RFK Jr dreamed of, and his dreams have, sadly and very predictably, come true
For decades he was one of the world’s most extreme, most kooky, & most dangerous anti-vaxx activists, so why on earth would he change course when given the task of running the US health system?

My authoritarian position is that any parents who miss their child's vaccination schedule should immediately have an investigation launched to see if it was unintentional or not they missed them. And anti-vaxx parents should almost automatically run the risk of felony charges of child endangerment.
